I wanted to share a couple fun things with everyone! The first is something I’m very excited about:

New plushies from Fangamer!!

Clomper and Glanter are joining Shrumbo, just in time for the holidays!

We're so excited to get this update out in time for Halloween, particularly because we made a handful of special Halloween oobmobiles only available during the event.

So what are oobmobiles?? Here's a bit of background on the update:

And a special thank you! But first:

It took a bit longer than we had hoped, but the v1.3.34 patch is now out on Switch and it should be live for everyone. If you've been waiting on those Switch bugfixes before playing the new Halloween event content, now's your time to play it! Make sure your game is updated and you can see the cauldron in town. We really appreciate everyone's patience while we got it sorted out.

The Halloween Event will run until Nov 15th so you should have enough time to do everything you want in it.

It's now been about a week since we launched on Steam and I wanted to thank everyone so much for making it go so well. If you did buy it on Steam, it would be really helpful to us and other players if you left a user review.

You can grab it right now on our Steam store page!

There’s a 40% off launch week discount that you probably won’t want to miss out on.

If you do pick Ooblets up on Steam, it’d help us out a great deal if you left a Steam user review. We read and appreciate every single one ❤️ and they help other people know what the game is all about.

Oh, and while we didn’t get Steam Deck certified in time for launch day, the game runs really well on it with usable controls and readable text.

First off, quick reminder that in less than 2 days Ooblets is launching on Steam!

We’re running a 40% discount on Steam for launch week, so make sure you and your friends snag the game before it goes back to normal price.

🎃 The 2023 Halloween Event is now live on all* platforms! 🎃

In all the excitement of announcing our upcoming Steam launch (Oct 5th!) we forgot to mention that the shrumbo plushies from Fangamer have arrived!

They’re our first ever official plushies and they turned out really great.

We just got ours delivered yesterday and they're incredibly soft and squishy. Our son immediately took to his shrumbo and has been systematically introducing it to every single item in the house.

Our cozy & weird farming, creature collection, RPG, life sim, dance-battler, deck-building card strategy, adventure, friendship… everything game is finally arriving on Steam!

It’s happening October 5th, which is very soon! Wishlist it now so you’ll get notified the moment it goes live:

🌟 Ooblets on Steam 🌟

I’m super excited to finally reveal that we’ve been working with Fangamer to create our first ever official plushie, which is Shrumbo!

Shrumbo plushie sign-up (👈 clicky!)

It’s not quite available for ordering yet, but you can sign up with that link above (click the NOTIFY ME button) to be the first to hear when it is.

There are a couple limited-time things happening so we don’t want anyone to miss out:

🏷️ Switch sale from now until April 26th:

We don’t do sales very often (this is the 2nd one since launch) so now is a perfect time to snag a copy of Ooblets if you still don’t have one, or boop a friend who you think might like it!

😮‍💨 Major bug fixed!

It's been a tough couple of days for us as we tried to do a fun surprise launch of the 1.1 Update on Sunday night but ended up surprising everyone with a major bug that would crash the game nonstop.

I stayed up late into the night until I figured out what was going wrong, tested my fix until we were pretty confident about it, and submitted it to cert on Monday. It just got through a couple hours before this email is being sent and seems to have done the trick! You may need to manually check for updates if it doesn't auto-update.

To anyone who couldn't load their saves or was dealing with the crashes, we're really sorry for the inconvenience and are so appreciative of your patience as we got it sorted out ❤️

It’s been a little while so I wanted to give everyone a peek into what we’ve been working on in Ooblets:

💬 Languages! 💬

The big news is that our first Localization Update is nearly complete and will be launching very soon (we’re hoping in a week or two). It’s got French, Spanish (LatAm), and German translations of all the game text and dialogue.

If you know any FR/ES/DE streamers/youtubers who play games like Ooblets, you might want to give them a heads up!
